But the highlight of the evening was the electric performance of Shostakovich’s String Quartet No.8 in C Minor, Op.110.

Dedicated to the memory of victims of fascism and war, this dark autobiographical work is menacing, macabre and totally engrossing.

After the interval, the quartet produced another excellent performance. Schubert's 'Death and the Maiden', String Quartet in D Minor, D810, never fails to delight and provided the final season with a fitting conclusion.
